‘Tis the saison… Ottawa friends, tomorrow / Wednesday from 7p-10p I’m spinning some faves and bangers at Tooth and Nail in Hintonburg. Come hang.

That time James Brown opened for the Rolling Stones. Can you imagine anyone having to follow this? Inspired Mick to learn some moves. 🤣 m.youtube.com/watch?v=6-E0...

Goodbye Jimmy Cliff. His vocal in this 1976 SNL performance, good lord---one of the best singers of his generation, of any generation. vimeo.com/155135842

So good. Legend.

Rest in power to the legend, Jimmy Cliff.

Thanks to Patrick from Chiming Back for the interview. medium.com/@chimingback...

Octoberman debut ‘these trails are old and new’ was born 20 yrs ago today. Thanks to the amazing people involved. It’s a real trip to think back to this time… lots of tracking in James Henderson’s home studio and setting up in random places to capture sounds. Lots of collabes but overall minimal.

VLADDY ❤️

I’m honoured to have been asked to sit down for an interview about the history and songwriting process behind Octoberman for the If It Be Your Will podcast series. It was a fun and sprawling chat and we really got into it. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

Saw Grandaddy last night and they ruled even harder than when I saw them a couple of decades ago. Guitar tones were heavvvvy. Played forever in a good way. Modesto for the win.

Playing music with friends is fun. Doing so again this Friday in Ottawa at Red Bird with our friend Andy Swan starting things off. Here’s us playing ‘we used to talking death’ in Toronto last week.

Blue Jays! 💙

YouTube won’t let me cover my own songs and post them to my YouTube channel because of copyright infringement (on my own songs). Good job, tech lords.

I still remember what I said to my dad on Nov 5 last year at around 10pm. “Buckle up.”

🍂 @octobermanmusic.bsky.social abraza el tiempo en "Chutes": indie folk canadiense grabado en cinta, donde banjo y vibráfono pintan memorias con calidez orgánica. 🎶 rmas.mx/2025/08/31/o... (EN in link!)

Did Britney Spears take on a new alias?

Canadian indie bands/labels, what’s your plan for the new de minimis rules down south?

Go to shows.

As an old head it’s fun discovering young hip hop groups that I vibe with.. Coast Contra are one of those

Strumming a new tune called Return Call. Chutes out now. #newmusic

Musicians are like gophers who burrow underground and pop up now and then

The biggest drag about releasing music these days is how much time you end up spending on social media

It’s neat how a song can start as a voice memo, become a demo and eventually graduate as a properly recorded entity backpacking around the world

Shout out to Reactin. #newmusic

Our seventh album “Chutes” is OUT NOW EVERYWHERE. Analog and liveish… Fictional storytelling amongst some “we’re all dying, what to do”. Snuck in some vibraphones, accordion, banjo, rhodes next to the what have you’s of guitar/bass/drums/synthesizers.

happy hump day. tune in to hear great tracks on 24/7 rotation zeno.fm/radio/hitsoftheweekretweeter2/ ft'ing @jokersrepublic.bsky.social @nationoflanguage.bsky.social @jetstreampony.bsky.social @absolutelosers.bsky.social @octobermanmusic.bsky.social @modernlifeiswar-ia.bsky.social and more

It’s cute that the George Harrison song Apple Scruffs is a shout out to Beatles superfans

I saw Oasis open for Neil Young and Crazy Horse back in 1996 and… yeah didn’t need to see them again.

Walking around Quebec ❤️.

Devo doc on Netflix rules.

Summer is slowly hoppin’ away… hope everyone’s been having a good one. 🩷☁️ Aaaaand can’t believe CHUTES release day is AUG 27. Thanks to everyone who spun “Harry Nilsson” single or ordered the LP thru Bandcamp. 🙏❤️ #newmusic #chutes

Here’s the amateur piano version of latest single “Harry Nilsson”. Thanks for all the spins and nice words over the past week. Chutes LP out now on Bandcamp and everywhere else on Aug 27. #newmusic #indierock #canadianmusic #octoberman #harrynilsson #chutes

The sky before Neil Young came on…

I feel like a key strategy to get you through life is make there’s always snacks available

New song “Harry Nilsson”… busker version. Single now available everywhere. #newmusic

DIFY (do it for yourself) 🤘
